LISTEN

Hey woah, ever wonder what kind of music we listen to? All different kinds! And no one listens to the same stuff. Anyhow, here is a website that will give you the inside scoop. If you just want to read the descriptions stay here. If you also want to hear the songs go HERE.

five tunes

1) Katie Stelmanis – “Believe Me” (From the Believe Me 7″) – “Right now Katie is my favourite singer in the world. Her voice is like those massive icicles that are sticking out of everywhere in Superman’s fortress of solitude. You can put her records on when you are just feeling a bit worn down from normal society, or when you just need to fly to the North Pole and recharge your superpowers and talk to a hologram of your father.”

2) Beta Evers – “Move My Body Rhythm” – “I just know this band from those CBS top 100 Italo torrents, but pretty much everyone of their songs is ridiculous. I’m pretty sure its just one woman, and she sounds like some weird ancient European witch over real evil beats. Plus check out the name ‘BETA EVERS.’”

3) Carly Simon – “Why” – “I feel like kind of a douche for putting this on my list, but it has a really sick, weird shuffle beat and was written by Chic, so it checks out. It goes along well with my early ’90s colourfast Keith Harring Arrested Development vibe.”

4) Flash and the Pan – “Walking in the Rain” (from Flash and the Pan) – “Hey, another band I have no clue about—just that it sounds like Joe Cole doing a karaoke version of a Funky Bunch interpretation of a Velvet Underground B-side.”

5) The Veronicas – “Untouched” (from Hook Me Up) – “The best band from Australia, or New Zealand or whatever, ever. Actually I’ve never heard any of their other songs, but this one is sick and reminds me of that song ‘Born Slippy’ for the first four seconds.”
